Influences

The Firefly Projects are primarily based off of Brownsville, East New York and Ocean Hill. The same neighborhoods exhibit the same social problems and crime rate. The projects are based off of the Van Dyke houses in Brownsville were the movie Brooklyn's Finest was filmed.

Trivia

Firefly Projects is notable for its glitch-laden swingsets, capable of flinging, at great heights and distances, vehicles that push against them. While there are four such swings in the area, only two are situated in an area that has ample room for players to drive in with a moderate-sized vehicle. The swingsets are also known to hit and fling players in contact with the swing through the same process.[1]thumb|289px|right|The Swing Glitch
